Where would college football be without the Mid-American Conference? MAC teams will play games on any day of the week in order to get on national TV.
So while you sit back and wait for the Bowl Championship Series to implode, get an early start on your viewing with Tuesday night's matchup between Ball State and Miami (Ohio). The Cardinals are No. 14 in the BCS standings and 16.5-point favorites over the RedHawks.
Two more MAC games on Wednesday. Temple (-2.5) is at Kent State and Central Michigan visits Northern Illinois (-3).
